Listen, I will watch any movie where characters have superpowers. Like literally any movie or show or commercial or bus ad. I grew up on them.
The world needs more markets. There are big box stores, there are liquor stores and bodegas, but there aren’t enough sort of high concept shops where you can pick up quality products for good prices in inviting surroundings.
It really is a hot gay Summer, wow. Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter threw a day of talks and tongue pops at the first-ever Pride Summit, which was held at the uber posh 1 Hotel West Hollywood. The event promised to be productive, powerful and pugilistic, a strategic gut punch to an entertainment industry still rife with queerphobia.
Queer people know how to throw a party. That’s just a fact. I think it’s in the bible somewhere.
Queensfest is Baduism come to life, a sonic symposium on black life, femininity and spirituality. The day-long panels n’ performances event, presented by the Will and Jada Smith-endorsed Queens of the New Age, popped off at the California African American Museum, a powerful symbol of black power and a kick ass museum to boot.
When this food hits your mouth, and you drool like a clown, that’s amore. Sixth + Mill, downtown’s preeminent purveyor of piquant pizza pies, cooks up the best paisano thin crust delicacies this side of the Atlantic.

The Advocate teamed up with the Beverly Center and queer-programming powerhouse World of Wonder to throw the most heart rending Pride event of the season.

The Sunset Strip is scary for a Little-Tokyo adjacent heartthrob like me. Everyone is blonde and rich, the hotels have weird names, and Joe Rogan, like, probably lives there.
Caffe Concerto is a symphonic experience. The high-end Italian Korean restaurant serves a bevy of daring and delicious fare, light and ravishing.
